Snoring in adults and especially children can be really dangerous. It is important to perceive it not as an irritating factor, but as a symptom, the otolaryngologist said.
People who snore usually experience sleep apnea. These pauses are sometimes up to 10 seconds, and this can cause serious damage to health. And the biggest danger with nighttime respiratory arrest is that a person begins to receive less oxygen.
- If this happens systematically, then various troubles with the cardiovascular system can flow from this - - the doctor notes.
The brain has to wake up to resume the breathing process. This leads to sleep disturbance, as well as fatigue and headache for the whole next day.
For children, snoring and shortness of breath are even more dangerous. They do not receive oxygen and, therefore, the body does not develop.
- Where is oxygen consumed the most? On the muscles and on the brain. In the morning, the child will wake up restless, she will have no appetite, and so on, the doctor explained.
Both snoring and breathing disorders are treatable, the doctor emphasized.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a sudden cessation of breathing when a person who snores loudly stops breathing and then snores and continues to sleep. This condition worsens the quality of sleep, which leads to the development of chronic fatigue syndrome. In addition, apnea interferes with the normal sleep of the patient's family members.
